Frank McLean Docherty'Petit Déjeuner'. Contemporary Scottish Surrealist Acrylic on Canvas.2019
2019
About the Item
Surrealist contemporary tablescape, acrylic on canvas by Scottish artist Frank McLean Docherty R.S.W. Signed and dated bottom left, presented in custom wood frame.
This piece is wonderfully colourful, playful and is typical of his witty sense of humour. Docherty likes to tease us visually and asks questions and presents conundrums to the viewer.
Frank McLean Docherty was born in Glasgow, Scotland in 1942. He became a student at Glasgow School of Art in 1960 and graduated from the Department of Printed Textiles in 1964. He taught in a secondary school in the East End of Glasgow for two years, thereafter departing to work in Dublin in the Republic of Ireland as a textile designer (Marks & Spencer, Heals and Liberty of London). He was also an illustrator for a range of newspapers and an Art Director of magazines.
In 1973, he was appointed Principal Teacher of Art in a Scottish High School and in 1978 was honoured by the Queen when he was appointed Member of the Royal Society of Painters in Watercolours (R.S.W.) He left education in 1994. Since that time he has developed a vision which is quite unique in Scottish Art.
Bank Managers, toucans, lighthouses, penguins, bowler hats, Frank Docherty makes you smile. Drawing his inspiration from everyday events and an eclectic mix of exotic imagery, Docherty composes pictures, surreal metaphors reflecting his imagination, humour and sense of the absurd.
Docherty is a collector’s painter who plays to his strengths, the clarity of design making his work easily accessible.
Other artists recognise in Docherty an enviable quality of draughtsmanship that he himself believed he was unable to develop fully in his earlier work. With this in mind he set about creating paintings with a surrealist vocabulary, using strong composition, the interlocking of blocks of bold colour echoing his roots in the abstract.
Using his titles as a doorway and with his storyteller’s gift for narrative he engages the viewer in a dialogue of verbal and visual puns. His canvases are peopled with characters caught up in the everyday frustrations of life combining realism and fantasy to present social and personal dilemmas, the juxtaposition of conflicting imagery and recurring motifs, presenting puzzles and inviting questions.
Frank Docherty’s paintings are represented in private collections in Brussels, London, Stockholm and Los Angeles and of course, Glasgow.

"Summers 1" - Original Painting by Jonjo Elliot
By Jonjo Elliott
Located in Los Angeles, CA
English artist Jonjo Elliot's artworks are a collision of expressionistic fauvism and his collections encourage a youthful candor. Plants thrive in environments the viewer wants to immerse themselves in. He’s interested in the crossover point between abstract and representational art and is constantly exploring where painting can take him and the viewer as a means of expression.
This 20-inch square original painting is created with acrylic paint on canvas. It is stretched, wired, and ready to hang. The artwork is signed on the back and initialed on the side. Convenient local Los Angeles delivery. Affordable Continental U.S. and international shipping are available. A certificate of authenticity issued by the art gallery is included.
Jonjo Elliott is a mixed-media artist working in a range of mediums, from paper and paint to skate ramps, ceramics, and chairs. Working from his studio in the UK, his vibrant works are inspired by the spaces surrounding him, and his large-scale still lives are intended to bring color and delight into the homes of his collectors.
A graduate of De Montfort University, he now manages a studio in Leicester. Jonjo's immersive and lively artworks are collected extensively in the UK, the US, and throughout the world. His works have been represented by Artplex Gallery since his Los Angeles solo show in 2019.
